Anyone got any design ideas? I'm stuck!

Bubble wrap... you need bubble wrap!

Just wrap yourself up in that stuff, and the light will still get through!

Sorry, I don't have any serious suggestions... who goes and sits on the beach on a windy day anyway?

when i sit on the artificial beach in wellington i don't feel like i'm on an actual beach coz there is the city all around it. so i've made block which block your view of the city and only allow through the natural surroundings. its more like an emotional shelter than a shelter that would protect you from physical elements
